Car Talk › Re: Why Do Nigerians Sell Their Cars When It Is Having Major Issues? by nurey(m): 7:12pm On Jun 04, 2021
nymphomaniac:
Per the above captioned, 80% of Nigerian Used cars are always having either engine or gear fault. The rest 20% are not in good condition but can be fixed. You will hear talk like “once the car start to give you major problems, just sell am”. Does it mean the person buying it doesn’t like better thing? To make matters worse, serious faults won’t be disclosed leaving the would be buyer vulnerable eventually. Things have to change sha.



Just ranting.

Cc everyone on car talk
Greed on the part of both buyers and sellers example
My accord EOD has smoking engine and flaring gear which doesn't pass gear 3 okay to fix
Complete Engine K24A is around 220 to 250k and transmission is 150k total is
250+150=400k

People would price naija used 500 to 700 saying the car don tey and nigeria road and weather don maga the body and other components.

Remove 400 from 700 you will have 300 left minus workmanship and the rest, the car is worth 250k or less grin

But if I decide to just advertise the car at 550k, saying the engine is smoking slightly without disclosing the gear issue and adding AC needs gas I go see greedy person way no know about car and can't pay Gazzuzz or that mrautofixcool guy inspection money grin price am 450 to 500k and carry the wahala 4 head guy man go happy.
All humans have greedy tendency just some checks don't enable us exhibit it.

Car Talk › Re: 2006 Honda City Transmission Vibration While Trying To Move by nurey(m): 10:53am On Jun 04, 2021
Emekayoung:
I am currently using honda ATF for my 2006 city. My issue now is that when my car is cold it drives normal,but when i becomes hot it vibrates when i am trying to move from the beginning. But when the car starts moving,it no longer vibrate. And that vibration is only when I am trying to move the car from the beginning while the car has warmed up very well. Please what do I do?
Honda city is either manual transmission or CVT transmission not regular automatic transmission. If you have poured ATF even from Honda into the transmission, you are killing the gear, the replacement fluid is honda CVT fluid

Car Talk › Re: Pontiac Vibe Versus Toyota Corolla by nurey(m): 10:24am On Jun 04, 2021
Nerdray:
Thanks so much bro. I'm looking at getting an 06 Pontiac Vibe.

1. The body parts is it very much more expensive? Or small and negligible

2. The fuel economy, is it true corolla is better. I'm curious since both uses same engine

3. Is there any fault line known with the Pontiac vibe?

4. What's the re-sell value like compared to corolla, I'm asking this cos it equally more expensive both toks and Nigerian use on jiji and co

Await your response. Thanks
1. Very much

2. Corolla economic better

3. None but for 4wd variant don't buy rusted one axle and 4wd components expensive to replace

4. It is identical in resale value like Corolla as both are identical in parts, reliability and can be used for Uber and bolt

Alfa Nurey, what's your thoughts on 2010 Ford Fusion? Thanks
Sultan used the car 10years in USA grin

The only major issue in Nigeria is Ford parts are expensive taken a fair share with a navigator but they are solid and mechanics can fix em easily. Buy but be weary of the 4 cylinder engines, I believe the V6 are more reliable

If.in Lagos check oyingbo that's a large Honda parts market, that's where I normally buy fluid and parts for my Honda cars

Please which is the recommended MANUAL gearbox oil is recommended for 2006-08 Honda Civic (Japanese spec)?

et al
The recommended fluid is Honda MTF which is a 10w30 oil with special addictive.

Most people who couldn't get used Mobil 424 fluid (never heard of it)

Others used ordinary 10w30 and 5w20 oil just as a temporary replacement for 4months without issues.

If I were in your shoes, I won't think of replacing the oil in the gear box as manual transmission isn't like your regular automatic, the factory oil can last 10 years nothing go do am as manual is mostly gears of metal sliding over each other. But any quality manual transmission fluid from a reputable manufacturer would suffice

I believe it can be done. But why do you wanna do it?
Why not leave the car as it is?
There are stress associated with opening door all the time with key, though I have owned mostly basic trims so I am used to using key all the time but remote unlock sometimes is sweet

I intend getting a Rewire to do works that will enable me use a remote to open and lock my car. It’s a Hyundai Accent 08 car and didn’t come with remote functionality. Is it worth the stress? Is it doable? Are the parts something I can buy myself? Advice needed please.

Cc nurey kingreign etc
Yes it can be done seen it on a friend's 08 kia Rio. You can buy an after market unit and fix

Boss Nurey,

Could you please remind me of that Mercedes Benz (suv) you said was made by the devil.

Thanks
The only SUV or rather CUV made by the devil is land Rover freelander first generation, avoid it.

All Mercedes Benz are very okay except maybe the w211 E class 03 to 05 which has SBS issues though can be fixed and S class which is expensive to fix when out of manufacturer warranty.

@nurey, do u have a workshop or a representative in Benin, so I can take d vehicle there for a complete change and subsequent servicing or repairs.
Thanks
I am in Benin, iguobazuwa exactly but I am not a mechanic, I am a farmer. I have showed you the location of the hose, let the mechanic check it first and you can drive the car around no issue just ensure you get the metallic oil cooler hose just to have rest of mind.

Gazzuzz has the hose in stock so he can help you get and waybill, but check 1st if it's metallic or rubber in the unit you bought

Mhen... I experienced this with a sienna I sold. Was driving on a sunny day with the ac on..loud gbedu..and viola...the oil alert indicator popped up on the instrument cluster....I was dazzled...kept wondering what was wrong.. Well...I managed to park by the road side..popped up the hood and realized that there was oil everywhere...thank goodness I parked immediately that indicator came up. I eventually bought a clip to hold the hose firmly...and then...topped up with 2 liters of 5w30...got scared of driving that ride till I found a buyer.
You are lucky other people had to rebuild their engines, even in US as the engine doesn't shutdown on low oil warning

and Ur advice will be I change d oil cooler hose to metallic ones right?
Yes if it isn't already metallic but I believe all 2010 Toyota with 3.5L V6 came with metallic oil cooler, it was 07 to 09 that majorly had the ruptured rubber cooler lines. Check the car first or just buy and do the change

Someone mentioned about its oil cooler saying that's its major weakness and I have to check oil guage constantly
It is fitted with a 3.5L V6 I believe the oil cooler lines could be rubber,. TSB was done by Toyota to change the rubber hose to metallic one. Checking oil gauge would not help your ministery as the rubber hose can give way on motion causing severe engine damage.
Car Talk › Re: Surviving The Tokunbo Cars Price Hike by nurey(m): 1:35pm On May 29, 2021
Toks price would go up but the best thing is to buy alternative vehicles like Renault, Seat, citreon, freelander, Opel and other junk cars people don't buy grin you use for 6months and buy another grin

Honda Accord baby boy to EOD had fragile gears that develop issues. Solution

1. Keep managing it like that

2. Convert to manual or sell the auto and buy manual

3. Buy a replacement gear or rebuild the unit if possible

Good morning sir, which would you advice between GAC Gs3, Hyundai Tucson and Rav 4 based on:
- Durabilty
- Fuel Economy
- Availability of Parts.

Also sir what is your take on Toyota Fortuner?
Thanks
Don't know any about GAC, just see them on the road.

RAV4 more in reliability index than Tucson.

The Fortuner are bought brand-new majorly in Nigeria and comes with 2.7L i4or 4.0L V6 both petrol engines are very expensive to replace if you damage them. But it is reliable all the same
Car Talk › Re: Which Brands & Models Of Cars Has Rugged Engine And Its Engine Can Be Rebuilt? by nurey(m): 2:54pm On May 25, 2021
EDUECO:
Nurey, thank you for your contribution!

Between Peogeot 406 and Toyota Corolla,which of these 2 cars has a more rugged engine?
Did you know that Corolla started from 1950s and has several generation in those years with differing engine. Tell us what particular year Corolla atleast I know the 406 year.

To answer your question on rugged engine I have told you maintenance is key all engines are rugged and built to last year's, maintenance is the only thing that will tell whether the engine would last or not.

My sienna engine is already 7years in Nigeria and with 200,xxxkm and still strong while my friends own is 3years and it has been ringed once already

Income is too low to maintain a car in Nigeria. Some may not like the sound of that but it's a fact.

I would go with a Nigerian used 2008 i4 Accord. Loaded.

Have you been inside a 2020 Corolla?
In pix yes and that is a metaphor grin
